"Prepare for the Constituent Assembly" (Hebrew), a broadside issued by the executive committee of the provisional committee headed by Dr. Ya'akov Thon. Jaffa: Sa'adia Shoshani press, [November/December 1918].
A broadside dealing with the "constituent assembly" (in time, the first Assembly of Representatives), while addressing its duties and the polemic in the Yishuv surrounding women's suffrage.
After Palestine was conquered by the British during World War I, the Yishuv began efforts to form a nationwide framework that will represent it before the British authorities. In December 1917, the first "constituent assembly" gathered in Jaffa during which a provisional committee was established with the purpose of organizing elections for parliament in the Yishuv. In 1918, two additional constituent assemblies were gathered. The third constituent assembly, which gathered in December 1918 (before which this broadside was printed), discussed the establishment of various institutions and the attitude of the Yishuv to the Zionist Organization. It decided that women will be given the right to vote and decided on a date for the general elections. The elections were postponed until April 1920, then the "constituent assembly" was established under its new name –The Assembly of Representatives.
[1] leaf, 35.5 cm. Good condition. Fold lines. Tears along edges and horizontal fold line. An open tear (approx. 2 cm) to margins (not affecting the text).

"Hebrew Woman!", broadside issued by the "Union of Hebrew Women for Equal Rights in Palestine". Jerusalem: Kahana press, [ca. 1920].
In April 1920, elections for the Assembly of Representatives took place for the first time. The most difficult issue accompanying these elections was women's right to vote, after which the first feminist party in the country was established: the "Union of Hebrew Women for Equal Rights in Palestine". The party won 5 seats in the Assembly, led to equal legislation and turned the leadership of the Yishuv into one of the first parliaments in the world to acknowledge the right of women to vote.
Before us is an elections broadside issued by the party, bearing a combative message to the women of the country: "Hebrew Woman! You have the right to vote for the Assembly of Representatives. It is your duty to exercise this right for your own good and for the good of the entire Yishuv. Go to the polling station and vote for women […] who will protect you, if not you yourself!" (Hebrew).
An interesting handwritten text on verso documents a meeting of an unidentified person with the attorney general of the Mandate government, Norman Bentwich.
[1] leaf, approx. 23 cm. Good condition. Filing holes and minor blemishes. A postage stamp on bottom.
